Squeaking/rubbing sounds while in reverse

[tae73]

I have a 03 with 104,000 miles and a 6 speed 4x4 - this only happens when I put the truck in reverse, I get a loud squeaking or rubbing sounds while backing up. The noise will go away when I push the clutch in even if I am still rolling backwards. Anyone I have some ideas? Its due for the transmission fluid to be changed. Its hard to hear where its coming from, but sounds like trany or transfer case.



I also noticed when backing up the other day up a hill with my boat hooked up, that the truck had shake or lurching motion as I backed up.

Sound like mine did when the rear drive shaft ujoints were starting to seize... they squeak under load (the reason it stops with the clutch depressed).

same as mine. sounds like a fast squak or chirp. put new u-joints in and went away. .

Thanks, does anyone make a greaseable u-joint yet?

Precision for sure... maybe Spicer and others by now.

Precision makes a greasable. Just replaced mine for about $25.
